TL;DR: The anti-adipogenic effect of EPA/DHA may involve a metabolic switch in adipocytes that includes enhancement of β-oxidation and upregulation of mitochondrial biogenesis.

TL;DR: Intake of diets rich in EPA and DHA leads to elevated systemic concentrations of adiponectin, largely independent of food intake or adiposity and explain, to some extent, their anti-diabetic effects.

TL;DR: It is suggested that EPA/DHA could reduce accumulation of body fat by limiting both hypertrophy and hyperplasia of fat cells by increasing dietary intake of EPA/ DHA, which may be beneficial regardless of the ALA intake.

TL;DR: It is shown that camera-type eyes of the cubozoan jellyfish, Tripedalia cystophora, use genetic building blocks typical of vertebrate eyes, namely, a ciliary phototransduction cascade and melanogenic pathway.

TL;DR: Ectopic expression of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in the white adipose tissue of the aP2-Ucp1 transgenic mice reduced obesity induced by genetic or dietary manipulations and represented a prospective target for the new treatment strategies aimed at reducing obesity.
